Captain Marvel / Shazam Appreciaton

[Dr. Jan Itor]

Awesome cover. Hopefully it's a basic variant and not an incentive.

In an ideal world, we'd have Grant Morrison back in charge of the Superman books while Geoff Johns can use his second book slot for a Shazam ongoing.

Alas, not to be.

Agreed on this.

Surely Cyborg used his technology skills to cheat or Billy is not a good gamer. Loved the cover though and I'd like to see these guys in a team-up book or at least a back-up.

Anybody have ideas of who should play Billy and the Captain in the upcoming movie?

Love the big cheese. He has never been used properly, in my opinion is more iconic in many ways than Supes, outsold him for years, has a cooler backstory, and more meat on the bones with the Batson duality. I went and bought the DC Archives of the original Parker/Beck Whiz Comics, and it's a great read. I find it stands up to, and beats Golden age Supes.

I dislike the currrent "magic" version in New 52, he is far too dark. Shazam should be as whitebread as it gets, optimistic, ideal-based, and do-right. The last modern story that did right by him in any permutation was Kingdom Come, and what is that, 25 years ago?
